First up let me say I thought when I was "piecing" my quilt that I was using Island Indigo DSP, but after finishing the quilt piece and getting out a piece of the Indigo card stock to mat with I see that my blue DSP is NOT Island Indigo, UGH....I didn't want to have to redo my quilt piece so I hope it is OK.
I started making some quilt cards yesterday, I know I am late to the party, but I am really hooked on them, I made a couple of sets yesterday and when I saw the color challenge I wanted to make another, this one is not part of a set. I struggled a bit yesterday with embellishments on the sets I made, I hated covering the pretty quilt piece, this one I just added the embellishments without over thinking it!
I did manage to get the dessert option in on here, new DSP is from the upcoming SAB and so is the center brad and the sentiment is also from a SAB set.
Thanks for looking and listening to me ramble! LOL!!

Love your quilt card...just gorgeous...colors, pattern and texture. Indigo, smindigo...doesn't matter an iota to me! : )....not with a beautiful card like this!!
beautiful. that texture really makes it seem fabric-y. My aunt is an avid quilter...I've favorited this because it will come in handy making cards for her!

WOW..this is awesome! I've tried quilting with fabric (not a big quilt, a smaller project) and it's difficult to get the pieces to line up perfectly...your quilted star is GORGEOUS!!

Your quilt card is beautiful!! Perhaps I can make one of those, seeing as how I don't believe I will ever do a real quilt. I love the brad and ribbon treatment too - so pretty!!
